Hair Ideas: The 5 Best Styles From Paris Fashion Week The Paris collections were all about sensuality, ceremony, and modest femininity, so it seems fitting that the the hair concepts this week were artfully demure by design. Here are five of our favorite looks. Minimalist hardware at Balenciaga. Hairstylist Guido kicked off Spring 2013 Paris Fashion Week with the Balenciaga show, creating a flattering, simple half-up style that complimented the ethereal feel of the show seamlessly. He started by pulling the two front sections back at the crown, then pinning in gold headpieces. "It's very natural but smooth," he said. Soft, elegant knots at Valentino. Sleek, precise buns at the Church of Givenchy. Low-slung chignons at Chanel. Easy, sexy, cool at Lanvin.

The 15 most romantic hairstyles of the moment We’ve viewed enough Botticelli paintings (and Kate Hudson movies) to know that the most romantic hairstyles are soft, touchable, and surprisingly easy to master. Wispy, face-framing curls give Selena Gomez's swept-back updo a relaxed feel. First, create a side part using your fingers, hairstylist Kerrie Urban says. "Because the part isn't superdefined, eyes travel to the face first," Urban says. Loosely curl the entire head with a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron (BaByliss Pro GT Gold Titanium 1 1/2" Spring Curling Iron is one of our go-tos). ©Allure

Dirty Hair Month Click squares to be taken to tutorials. All hair tutorials take five minutes or less to do. Great when you have greasy hair but have to get out of the door fast! For an entire two weeks I won't be washing my hair! I promise it doesn't sound as gross as it seems. Yesterday I had a birthday party to attend and didn't have time to wash my hair so instead I did a quick updo in less than 5 minutes that looked both polished and put together all at once. Starting April 1st, (in addition to my other daily posts) I'll post a new dirty hair updo each day that takes 5 minutes or less with a video tutorial. Looking forward to it! Please Share!
